[youtu.be] White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

FearlessFly comments on Jul 3, 2020:

"White Rabbit" is a song written by Grace Slick and recorded by the American rock band Jefferson Airplane for their 1967 album Surrealistic Pillow. "White Rabbit" is one of Grace Slick's earliest songs, written during December 1965 or January 1966. It uses imagery found in the fantasy works of Lewis Carroll—1865's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel Through the Looking-Glass—such as changing size after taking pills or drinking an unknown liquid. Slick said the composition was supposed to be a slap to parents who read their children such novels and then wondered why their children later used drugs. Characters Slick referenced include Alice, the White Rabbit, the hookah-smoking caterpillar, the White Knight, the Red Queen, and the Dormouse. Slick reportedly wrote the song after an acid trip.

[youtu.be] Wooden Ships - CSNY

FearlessFly comments on Jul 4, 2020:

"Wooden Ships" is a song written and composed by David Crosby, Paul Kantner, and Stephen Stills, of which versions were eventually recorded both by Crosby, Stills & Nash and by Jefferson Airplane; Kantner was a founding member of the latter group. It was written and composed in 1968 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on a boat named the Mayan, owned by Crosby, who composed the music, while Kantner and Stills wrote most of the lyrics. The words of the song depict the horrors confronting the survivors of a nuclear holocaust in which the two sides have annihilated each other. A man from one side stumbles upon a man (or woman, as in Jefferson Airplane's version) from the other side and asks him/her, "Can you tell me, please, who won?" Since the question has no real meaning in the circumstances or even at all, it is left unanswered. To stay alive, they share "purple berries", as a result of which they "haven't got sick once" (iodine pills, which protect against radioactive iodine-131 in nuclear fallout).[citation needed] The lyrics beg "silver people on the shoreline," described by David Crosby as "guys in radiation suits," to "let us be." As the wooden ships, devoid of metal that would become radioactive from neutron activation, are carrying the survivors away from the shores, radiation poisoning kills those who have not made it aboard.

Greg Lake remembers the first time ELP played the Aaron Copland adaptation: It was just wonderful how it came about: We were recording in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1976, and Keith was playing it as a piece of classical music. I played this shuffle bass line behind him and all of a sudden it started to connect. Then Carl came in and we three started to play it. Luckily, the engineer had a two-track running, and that is what’s on the record - the first time we played through the piece.

I felt I had to post this one today.

FearlessFly comments on Jul 4, 2020:

(from songfacts.com) This song has some apocalyptic themes and very dark lyrics ("Jesus tries to crack a smile beneath another shovel load"). Chris Cornell explained the song in an interview with RIP magazine, April 1994: "One time I was on acid, and there were voices ten feet behind my head. The whole time I'd be walking, they'd be talking behind me. It actually made me feel good, because I felt like I was with some people. At one point I was looking back, and I saw that one person was wearing a black shirt and jeans, and the other person was wearing a red shirt. They were always there. It was kinda like a dream, though, where I'd wake up and look and focus once in a while and realize there was no one there. I'd go, 'Oh, f--k, I'm hearing voices.' '4th of July' is pretty much about that day.

While Chapman was growing up, her family moved several times and settled in Alabama in 1969. While living in Germany at age 11, Chapman started playing guitar after her mother hid a Framus guitar as a Father's Day gift in her room. She also learned to play the piano at the same time she started playing guitar. Some of Chapman's songwriting collaborators have been Annie Roboff, Bill Lloyd, Eric Kaz, Harlan Howard, Joe Henry. and Judie Tzuke.

Frontman of the group Mick Hucknall wrote the song when he was 17, while living at his father's house. In a 2018 interview, Hucknall said the song was inspired by a member of teaching staff at Manchester School of Art, where Hucknall was a fine-art student: the lecturer suggested the greatest paintings are produced when the artist is working in a stream of consciousness, which Hucknall then tried to apply to songwriting – "Holding Back the Years" was the second song he wrote using this method.

Happy 75th Birthday Debbie Harry BLONDIE "Dreaming" [youtu.be]

FearlessFly comments on Jul 5, 2020:

Written by guitarist Chris Stein and singer Debbie Harry, the song features music inspired by ABBA and an active performance by drummer Clem Burke. Musically, "Dreaming" is a fast-paced new wave song. Stein has since claimed that "Dreaming" is "pretty much a cop" of "Dancing Queen" by ABBA; he continued, "I don't know if that was where we started, or if it ended just happening to sound like that." Michael Gallucci of Ultimate Classic Rock said the song "tak[es] a cue from Phil Spector's Wall of Sound."

Good morning all.

FearlessFly comments on Jul 6, 2020:

It was written by Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley, and Chris Hughes and produced by Hughes. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a new wave song with lyrics that detail the desire humans have for control and power and centre on themes of corruption. In an interview with Mix magazine, Hughes said that "as a piece of recording history, [the song is] bland as hell." The lyrics of the song were originally "everybody wants to go to war", which Orzabal felt was lackluster. However, Hughes convinced Orzabal to record it, in a calculated effort to gain American chart success. Orzabal acknowledged that the shuffle beat used in the song was "alien" to their way of writing music, stating it was "jolly rather than square and rigid in the manner of 'Shout', but it continued the process of becoming more extrovert." Curt Smith, the lead singer, said the themes were "quite serious – it's about everybody wanting power, about warfare and the misery it causes."

In September 1936, a recording by Billie Holiday was the first to hit the US pop charts, reaching no. 12. Other versions to make the pop charts include those by Sam Cooke (US no. 81, 1957)

Thin Lizzy - Don't Believe A Word [youtube.com]

FearlessFly comments on Jul 8, 2020:

(from johnmedd,com) When Thin Lizzy were recording their 1976 album Johnny the Fox, their head honcho Phil Lynott had been working on a new song: it was a stripped down, bluesy affair that spoke of broken hearts and romantic deceit. The tempo of the song suggested it was probably best heard at three in the morning wafting from a smokey subterranean speakeasy. However, Brian Robertson, the band's young hotshot lead guitarist at the time, heard it and told Lynott in no uncertain terms he thought it was shite. Lynott was crushed and left the sessions, not returning till a several days later. In which time Robertson had written a new riff to it and speeded it up by a factor of 3X.

The chorus line lyric "one day like this a year would see me right" had been in singer Guy Garvey's diary for several years before the song was written. Speaking in 2014 about the song Garvey said, "We put the chords behind it and realised it was going to be the hook of all hooks. I was like, 'what do we think?'... It was, 'it's kind of similar to "Hey Jude", isn't it?' I was like, 'yeah, and it's also similar to "Loaded" by Primal Scream, and we like both those songs, don't we?' So isn't it just generous to do that, isn't it a satisfying thing for the listener?... And my God, how it changed our fortunes."

FearlessFly comments on Jul 9, 2020:

Lead singer Jim Morrison initially wrote the lyrics about his break up with his girlfriend Mary Werbelow, but it evolved through months of performances at the Whisky a Go Go into a much longer song. The Doors recorded a nearly 12-minute version for their self-titled debut album, which was released on January 4, 1967. "The End" was recorded live in the studio with no overdubbing. Two takes were recorded, with reportedly the second being used for the album. It was the last song the original group performed at their last concert on December 12, 1970, at The Warehouse in New Orleans.

Pachelbel - Canon In D Major What an uplifting piece of music [youtube.com]

FearlessFly comments on Jul 10, 2020:

Neither the date nor the circumstances of its composition are known (suggested dates range from 1680 to 1706), and the oldest surviving manuscript copy of the piece dates from the 19th century. Like his other works, Pachelbel's Canon, although popular during his lifetime,[not verified in body] went out of style, and remained in obscurity for centuries. A 1968 arrangement and recording of it by the Jean-François Paillard chamber orchestra gained popularity over the next decade, and in the 1970s the piece began to be recorded by many ensembles; by the early 1980s its presence as background music was deemed inescapable.

"Downtown" is a song composed by Tony Hatch which, as recorded by Petula Clark in 1964, became an international hit. In the autumn of 1964 Hatch made his first visit to New York City, spending three days there in search of material from music publishers for the artists he was producing. He recalled, "I was staying at a hotel on Central Park and I wandered down to Broadway and to Times Square and, naively, I thought I was downtown. . . . I loved the whole atmosphere there and the [music] came to me very, very quickly". He was standing on the corner of 48th Street waiting for the traffic lights to change, looking towards Times Square when "the melody first came to me, just as the neon signs went on."

Some good suggestions. I'm no fan of Big Pharma (read the book), but it is hard to imagine legislation that will cover all the benefits/dangers of allowing consumers to buy drugs from other countries (I'm aware it is happening now).

I never thought I would see such common sense from a group of Republicans. Where is the DNC ?

It is so windy outside that I can hear the cat flap opening and closing.

Road music- Moab by Conor Oberst. [youtu.be]

FearlessFly comments on Jul 14, 2020:

(from songfacts.com) This song is about the town of Moab in Utah. Oberst told MTV News: "Moab is an amazing town. I'd heard about it and then actually I just drove out there by myself on a whim in between things, I wanted to check it out. There's this place, Arches National Park, out there, which has the big blown rock arches, and it's really amazing."

"Users were able to listen to thousands of stations on the Live365 radio network for free with in-stream audio ads" . . . that word 'free' -- I don't think it means what you think :

Poof! I had a very nasty response and won’t allow these things to bother me so “block” ...

I consider the word "belief" a 'trap' that can (and has) been used against me/us. I try to use 'accept/reject' instead.

COLOR THEORY - A SAFE DISTANCE .

FearlessFly comments on Jul 16, 2020:

(from the YT page) Color Theory “Two” is the closing track from my 8th album, The Sound. Not only is it my favorite song from the album, but it may just be the longest Color Theory track ever. It started out as a collaboration with Swedish producer Johan Emmoth, who heard my music through my friend Viktor Ginner of Rupesh Cartel. He sent me an instrumental sketch to add vocals to. There wasn’t much extra space in the arrangement, but I did my best. When I collaborate, I intentionally write in a voice that’s very different from the “me” you’ve come to know. This was never meant to be a Color Theory song, but in the end it just didn’t fit in the mix, so Johan gave me permission to develop it on my own. Special thanks to Franco Girardi for creating the video.
